I was raised Catholic, but am an atheist now. Yet I gotta say I have a LOT of respect for this guy - for someone who’s the leader of the most famous branch of Christianity (so far as I know), he’s very surprisingly down-to-earth. I hope he’s able to move the rest of the flock in that direction as well.

Even people that believe in a mythical creature in the sky aren’t dumb enough to believe AI is conscious

While I believe we could one day reach some form of AI, it ain’t going to be from LLMs.

I’m guessing that the Holy Pedo would say that even about Lt. Commander Data (not to imply that Data should be compared to the LLMs that we currently have).

Nobody who believes that LLMs cannot be conscious will ever believe that they can be conscious. And they will say things like the writer of this piece who says ‘we know how they work.’ We don’t, actually. We know how to reliably manufacture them. Anybody can do this - enthusiasts do it on their own desktops. But what is happening that creates their emergent behaviors is a black box that we cannot see inside. We also don’t know what consciousness is and we don’t know what has it and what doesn’t other than that which our “feelies” dictate. Unfortunately, these two factoids do not appear to give humanity any degree of pause when it comes to this conversation.

Not surprising he’s saying that, that’s like, his whole thing. Probably would say that even if the thing were actually conscious.
